    The UL on-line course "Structural Stability of Engineered Lumber in Fire Conditions" is well worth a couple of hours of your time. This is a "must study" for every fire instructor and fire officer; and should be required for experienced firefighters, and Fire Fighter I and II students. Several of these short lessons and test videos could be used effectively in the classroom to supplement our traditional training materials.
